Whilst it might sound too good to be true, the beloved brand actually have concession stands in some of its biggest stores where you can find various vintage goodies.
This include pieces by major brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, Burberry and North Face – all of which are on offer, literally!
If you weren’t already sold, there are also one-off items lurking in amongst the luxury labels so you’ll be able to find something whatever your price point.
Launched last summer, Primark’s vintage stands are in partnership with Wornwell, a vintage wholesale company, and there are at currently 10 pop-ups nationwide.
Before you head to your local high street though, you’ll need to check whether your Primark is one of the 10 locations involved in the scheme.
Though there is a full list online, the pop-ups can largely be found in the high street giant’s flagship stores.
This includes: Cardiff, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Newcastle and London’s Oxford Street.
However, this might expand in the near future as over 29 per cent of Brits bought pre-loved fashion in the last 12 months – according to experts.
For those who are curious about what is on offer, streetwear influencer Max tried on the various threads available.
Taking to Tiktok, the content creator revealed that he’d been able to bag a bargain whilst in stores and even shared some pieces he didn’t purchase.
Exploring this hidden gem, he revealed that he’d found endless Carharrt jackets – which had been at the top of many people’s wish list over Christmas.
However, his eye was immediately drawn to the jeans and winter woollies, with plenty of designers pieces to choose from.
“Vintage knitwear is also in plentiful supply,” he gushed, adding: “I found this vintage Valentino wool one, but there was so many other high end brands, like Dolce and Gabbana, Burberry and Armani.”
Despite most of the knits going for hundreds of pound originally, the thrifty influencer found a unique Valentino jumper for just £55.
Sadly though, the neckline was just a little too high for this fashionista so he decided to pop it back on the shelf.
Max hadn’t finished wrapping up though, as he also found luxury fleeces from the likes of North Face and Patagonia.
Unlike on app, where sellers often mark up the price, the content creator was pleasantly surprised by the value on offer.
Having tried on a ‘gorgeous’ Columba waterproof coat, which was £45 in store, Max was also drawn to various denim jacket.
“Levi’s and Wrangler denim jackets are also an offer for only £30,” he explained adding: “These would be way more on Depop and eBay.”
As the January sales come to an end, it seems you can still bag a bargain on the high street.
